Artificial Intelligence tool develops 'South Park' episodes, claims Fable Simulation

Fable Simulation claimed to make episodes of animated series, South Park using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool.

The US based company has developed Showrunner, an AI tool, to make original episodes of South Park.

Edward Saatchi, the company’s chief executive, told the GamesBeat website, "Not just the dialogue. It animates, it does the voices, it does the editing. We did the South Park episode as an example and for research to show generative TV."

Saatchi explained that Showrunner was produced without copyright permission and it was solely meant for research, it will not be available for public use.

"We don’t want to profit from it and we are not releasing a way for other people to do it. We realised it was hard to illustrate how the model works without a comparison," he said.

Fable Simulation’s chief executive explained his stance on copyright issues, "We’re speaking with several studios and IP holders to potentially use this with their IP to allow fans to create shows."

He added, "We think for any show, fans being able to make their own episodes, potentially even competitively, with permission of IP holders– we think it can lead to something interesting."
